Therefore, you should make your decisions thoughtfully and carefully based on your individual needs. Your commitment to FFSC shall be your full participation and support for the entire soccer season. Club and Team activities (meetings, training sessions, fundraisers, etc.) are the basic commitments each player is to perform throughout his or her commitment with FFSC. Please consider when you make your commitment to FFSC, the Team Coach may need to inform other potential players they did not make the team because the Coach has filled his or her roster.

Any violation of these rules may result in disciplinary action up to and including suspension, dismissal and/or removal from further participation with FFSC. The Team Coaches are responsible for creating an environment to play quality competitive soccer. A player’s family and schoolwork should always be the first priority for every member of FFSC. However, if the Coach believes you are not willing to put your commitment to soccer with FFSC above other recreational activities during the season, it may affect your playing time and/or your status with FFSC. As a member of FFSC, you are to be committed to your team as your first recreational activity and priority during the Club season. Players should expect, as a part of their training, that at times, their coach may be critical of the player’s work ethic, commitment, or actual play during practices or games. This is part of the coaching process. Coaches will also use praise and congratulatory remarks to encourage improvement in the player. Over time, there are things the coach will come to expect from every player. There are times when the coaches will say very little and times when they may speak loudly to give instructions. There are times they will be critical of players and other times they will be generous with praise. Players and Parents are expected to take constructive criticism along with praise for a job well done and be able to deal with both. Playing time is at the sole discretion of the Team Coach within the guidelines provided by FFSC. Should you commit to FFSC, FFSC will honor its commitment to you. No Player shall be cut from a Team during a soccer league season, unless there has been a violation of Cal South Rules and Regulations, League of competition rules and regulations and/or a violation of FFSC Rules and Guidelines. Should a player decide to leave a team within the guidelines of Cal South Rules, a player has the absolute right to request to be released from the Team by obtaining the proper process from the Club Registrar. Should a player not know which team they would like to move to, they can be released and placed in what is called a “drop pool”. From this drop pool, any District Commissioner or Assistant District Commissioner can create a District Pool Pass that is the sole possession of the player until he/she should choose to transfer to a different team or club.
